desparate advise please mis- use of name for a company set up
Permalink   
 


A member of my family had set up a company at companies house UK. my ,husbands name was used and his UK address, to do this ,without his knowledge. his signature would have been needed surely??forged or something.?this all came to light as he He was recently asked to sign something  just to release some monies ??? -large amount ,he refused and wanted to know why his name had been used to become a director of something he didnt know about. . he asked for his name to be taken off the company as he wanted no part of something he knew nothing about. He had never signed anything  or heard of the company in the family . he doesnt even live near this family member and has recently retired to spain giving up his UK address 5mnths ago.He went back to retrieve any missed rerouted mail to find a tAX letter advising him that if he didnt submit tax returns now overdue he would face proceedings legal. He is mortified and it was 6mnths ago that he asked the family member to remove him from the company details.  his name has been used without his signature and he is worried. i tell him this is identity fraud. What do we do now. 

WE have never had much money and have both worked hard to retire to Spain recently to a modest little village house. and dont want that life jeopardising in any way by something we havent done or he hasnt done. Can anyone advise us what to do?????

The person who forged the name has to issue a sworn statement that the husband was not a director of the company.  If they are unwilliing to do that then you must take that person to civil court to force his hand.  If you can not do that you have no choice but to pay the government.  It seems that you accepted the fact of your "forged" signature until the government asked for the tax money.  Now you claim that its not your signature?  I think you can see the problem.

Let us know what happens.
